The liver is swollen due to an infection in the intestine, a severe condition. Symptoms include stomach pain, tiredness, yellow skin (jaundice), and fever. The causes are viruses and bacteria. To help, the doctor prescribed medications for the infections and suggested a special diet to support the liver. Following a doctor's advice carefully is crucial for proper treatment.

In advanced stages of liver cirrhosis, the abdomen can become distended and feel firm or tight due to fluid accumulation (ascites). This can cause discomfort and difficulty eating. Whereas changes in taste perception and a knee infection are not directly related to liver cirrhosis and would require separate evaluation

Your stomach may collect water if the liver is not working. That can also cause bloating and discomfort. Signs could include fatigue, poor appetite, or swelling of the belly. Alcohol is just one thing that damages livers – fatty foods and certain medications do too. A gastroenterologist will tell you what to eat but stay off the booze and take drugs as directed.
